Fields Sensors arranged in a random pattern on the floor. A heavy magnet is passed over them; there is no other movement. In these (6 condensed) experiments the result is the usual vibrating. The movements could be decoded to some extent, indicating the relative positions of the magnet and sensors. Eventually the sensors will be placed in the standard body pattern, held in position with a card or foam surface, and the magnet again moved over the configuration. The result this time should be a mapping of the field as it intersects the body pattern, a mapping both useful as a tool for field visualization, and for modeling a 'force' moving upon a human being, for example wind or water, but with a source re/coding/filtering the body, held of course supine under the greatest anguish or ecstatic exaltation Anything might be represented in this manner. The world's parameters devolve upon or within the body; the body bends for data, bends for anything. The body, the body, the body, the body, the body. The filtering is double-filtering, standard, or tangent substitution in the last section of the video. The last section in particular presents a repetitive sweeping of the body http://www.alansondheim.org/magfield.mp4 http://www.alansondheim.org/resonant.mp3 a nice piece of unusual music
